An example of the growing prominence in print culture: on the British Library online database, 220 London periodicals published before 1910 feature home in the title. Of these, only ten came out before 1840. 10. Leonore Davidoff and Catherine Hall’s work still offers the definitive explanation of this. L. Davidoff and C.

For example, in 1900, an article in the Girls Own Paper tried to keep single girls who lived away from the family home on the straight and narrow by urging them to sit down to regular meals and set the table correctly, stressing the necessity of butter knives. ‘Living in Lodgings’, The Girl’s Own Paper, April 16, 1900, p. 563. 170 Notes 171 17.

Oct. 2021 Introduction Aims and rationale According to the Oxford Encyclopaedia of Children’s Literature (on-line edition, 2006), the term ‘school story’ refers to a distinct literary genre in which ‘school is not just a backdrop but rather is the raison d’être of the novel’. It is a genre with a long pedigree. The first text of its kind is generally held to be Sarah Fielding’s The Governess; or, Little Female Academy (1749), a book which was very favourably received and which provided a model for a significant number of the children’s stories produced during the century following its publication. Sue Sims and Hilary Clare (2000) have identified over thirty such books for girls which appeared between 1749 and 1857, while Robert Kirkpatrick (2006) estimates that over a hundred stories set in boys’ schools were written during the same period.

The 19th century saw an expansion in the public schools, which seized the opportunity to prepare boys for service in the Empire. The schools developed an elaborate systems of totems and talismans. Their rituals were reenacted all over the world. The rich symbolism of schooldays prepared colonial administrators for staging the Imperial drama. The public schools also became deeply involved with freemasonry,a secret fraternal society. The final chapter of the book providesan assessment of the public school in post-imperial days and notes that in the 20th century the schools have placed pragmatismover principles in order to survive political threats.

Abstract Our paper examines the opening of branches overseas (‘satellite colleges’) by elite private schools mainly located in England (‘founding colleges’), largely in emerging economies of the Middle East and South East Asia. We trace the development of these ‘satellite colleges’ over three successive waves of growth, from opportunistic venturing in Thailand in the late-1990s to their recent rapid growth in numbers in a phase characterized by the market entry of new actors and geographic diversification.

    Policy Change, Public Benefit, and the Charities Act 2006 – A Case of the Emperor’s New Clothes? By Sarah Sophie Flemig A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of PhD in Political Science Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Sarah Sophie Flemig 2015 Policy Change, Public Benefit, and the Charities Act 2006 – A Case of the Emperor’s New Clothes? Sarah Sophie Flemig Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science Department of Political Science University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This thesis analyses the policy-making processes leading to the Charities Act 2006 that introduced a renewed focus on the “public benefit” that charities need to provide. It addresses the empirical puzzle why a period of over 400 years of stability in the definition of charitable status ended in 2006 and what factors caused the charity reform that culminated in the 2006 Act. The discussion centres on the two most affected groups of charities, which are fee-charging education and healthcare charities. For this purpose, the thesis compares two radical change theories, i.e. punctuated equilibrium theory (Baumgartner et al., 2011) and path dependency (Pierson, 2000a), and evaluates how they perform against the alternative account of gradual transformation theory (Streeck and Thelen, 2005). Empirical evidence is presented for each of the key stakeholders, the government, the charitable sector, the legal community, and the media. Throughout, the thesis adopts an interdisciplinary multi-method research outlook, including a specifically designed survey, systematic review, statistical analysis, content analysis and archival research. These data are corroborated through in-depth elite interviews with key ii personalities who were involved in the charity policy reform process.

G. COTTON MINCHIN < " " Author of Old Harrow Dayt", Tht Growth of Freedom in the Balkan Peninsula" LONDON: SWAN SONNENSCHEIN & Co., LIMITED PATERNOSTER SQUARE 1901 TO MY ESPECIAL THREE. PREFACE. FEW things in the perusal of biographies have struck me more than the manner in which the influence of the school and its surroundings on the subject of the biography, who spent his boyhood there, has been ignored. Until the publication of the School Registers of Charterhouse, Eton, Harrow, Merchant Taylors', Rugby, St. Paul's, Westminster, and Winchester (all excellent, though some are pre-eminently so), it was sometimes more than difficult to trace the school of a statesman or author. As few of the Registers go back to the seventeenth century, it is not even now easy to locate the school of some distinguished men, who are said to have been at public schools during the seventeenth or early part of the eighteenth century. Sir Francis Dashwood (Chancellor of the Exchequer) is an instance in point, though I have satisfied myself that he was a Commoner at Winchester.
  • A History of British School Uniform

    A History of British School Uniform

    “It’s not for the sake of a ribboned coat”1: A History of British School Uniform Kate Stephenson PhD University of York History January 2016 1 Henry John Newbolt, Admirals All, and Other Verses (London: Elkin Mathews, 1898), 21. Abstract Despite a good deal of work on the history of education, uniforms and children‘s clothes as separate fields of research, the development of school uniform is an area that has received little meaningful academic attention to date. School uniform is a visibly prominent reflection of, not only, institutional values, but also of wider views and an indicator of cultural change. This thesis takes an interdisciplinary approach to recreate the five hundred year history of British school uniform using archival, commercial and autobiographical sources to discuss trends in design, adoption and change across a wide range of educational institutions. In doing so the importance of social factors and constructs on the education system and school appearances have become apparent, most notable amongst these are class and gender, but also nationalism and religion. This broad approach enables a wider spectrum of influences and processes to be analysed and their impact seen over a longer time period, allowing connections to be made that might, otherwise, have been missed through close focus. The resulting wide temporal framework can also act as a basis in which future research may be situated. ii Contents Abstract ii Contents iii List of Illustrations v Acknowledgements vi Author’s Declaration vii Be Keen! viii Introduction

Stancer University of Keele PAGE NUMBERING AS ORIGINAL Resistance to change: a study of influences affecting the curriculum in selected Clarendon Schools in the mid. -Victorian period. Brenda Stancer Ph. D Thesis 1978 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been completed without the encouragement, constructive criticism and advice of Dr. Marjorie Cruickshank, whose high academic standards acted as a stimulus throughout the research. In addition I should like to thank the staff of the Temple Library, Rugby School for their help, and also Mr. Lawson of the Shrewsbury School Library for his great assistance and interest. Finally, I should like to express my gratitude to my parents, Evelyn and Geoffrey Downes, and also to Cathy, Caroline and to John, for their considerable patience and encouragement. Brenda Stancer December, 1978 Abstract This thesis is concerned with an examination of the influences which affected the curricula of certain Clarendon schools during the mid-Victorian period. The emphasis initially is on the development of the schools and the Christian classical tradition of education up to the time of the Clarendon Commission.
